Our global round-up of who wore it well last month.

Towards the end of an unseasonably mild October in the UK, we editors were quickly running out of bromides to cheer up our colleagues on the Buying Team, who had heavily invested in coats, hats and scarves. I saw a flock of geese flying south this morning! Made my first French onion soup last night! Thankfully, the cold seems to have arrived, and with it the permission for all those stepping out to take their neglected coats and cashmere for a spin. Accordingly, the wearers of this November’s best outfits have an air of determination, the firmly set lips that accompany a job well done, after much thought and preparation. Let’s just hope as winter proper progresses the sharp styling can be combined with a more relaxed attitude. After all – as Mr Mick Fleetwood alone demonstrates this November – a smile isn’t going to kill anyone.

It must be nice being an artist. Even if the invite says “black tie”, nobody’s going to care if you turn up in a pair of paint-splattered jeans, or a smock, or even some improbable thing of your own design that you made during a bout of colourful night terrors. Plus, in a party context, you can be loud (people will listen), rude (people will laugh it off), obscure (people will pretend to understand) and messy (is that a dropped canapé or an objét trouvé?). Though we at MR PORTER would never imply that New York-based painter Mr Lucien Smith would do any of these things, he employed his artistic license to great effect in his outfit at this year’s Hugo Boss Prize party, mixing a made-in-America workwear look (beanie, double denim, moccasin boots) with a slouchy blazer and dressy astrakhan scarf. The idioms are mixed, but the complementary shades of blue bring it all together and make it work.

Where a regular person might mix references to say, the 1950s, or military dress in their clothes, Mr David Beckham has the luxury of referring to himself – or rather the many past phases of his own remarkable sartorial evolution – when he picks his outfit every morning. This ensemble offers an update on Mr Beckham’s mid-2000s night-crawling look with its monochrome palette, though thankfully the hairband is nowhere in sight. The sharply cut Chesterfield topcoat is a nice foil to the louche silk shirt and skinny jeans, adding a touch of dressiness to an otherwise casual outfit. Of course, it is all from Saint Laurent – Mr Beckham has never shied away from full-on brand immersion.

Upstairs it’s Gordon Gekko. Downstairs it’s Malcolm McLaren. Overall, it’s a serving of style with a kick of something unexpected, which is exactly what you might expect from Mr Jefferson Hack, founder of various trend-setting magazines including Dazed & Confused and AnOther. He’s pictured here exiting his own party at Mark’s Club, Mayfair, where celebrities including Messrs Bobby Gillespie and Jake Chapman helped him celebrate the launch of the latest issue of AnOther Man. We like the patrician confidence of his loose-fitting double-breasted jacket and applaud the brave decision to pair it with brothel creepers.

Contrary to the general law of paparazzo photographs, Mr Mick Fleetwood actually looks as if he’s enjoying himself in this picture, no doubt because of his flamboyant, 1940s-tinged outfit. Though this is very much a nostalgic look, with its square-shouldered silhouette and loosely untucked cravat, Mr Fleetwood has brought it up to date with denim jeans and a coat in a micro-check pattern. Between the beige, brown, navy and red, there as many colours going on as can reasonably be advised, but they’re employed here to balance out the outer layer, which otherwise would be overwhelming.

The downside to undergoing (what seems to be) a very public makeover by your terrifyingly cool new girlfriend, FKA Twigs: influential fashion website The Cut posts an article in which every member of staff insults your new haircut. The upside: your new look features a classic waxed cotton coat that will continue to be useful even if you eventually decide, a few trips to the barber’s later, to date someone else. A salute to Mr Robert Pattinson for eschewing the typical off-duty movie-star look (gilet, Starbucks, grey sweats) and going instead for harmonious shades of navy and relaxed-looking tapered trousers.

A new entry to the On the Town hall of fame, actor Mr William Peltz doesn’t really need to be turned out so sharply. Not only does he have matinée idol looks and artfully bedraggled, Kurt Cobain-y hair, his father is American billionaire Mr Nelson Peltz (Mr Peltz is one of 10 siblings) – cue office lockdown at Tatler. He’d look good in anything, but he looks particularly sharp in this slim-fitting suit with tapered trousers – a good option for lesser beings of a similar stature who are looking for something formal but stylish.

Perhaps it pains Mr Luke Evans somewhat that many of his on-screen roles feature prodigious amounts of sweat, blood, mud and straggly hair. But whatever the reason, he tends to scrub up quite meticulously when off-duty. We’d very much like to know how he made it this far down the garden path at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards with barely a wrinkle on his fitted three-piece suit. It’s quite the mystery. The rest, thankfully, is eminently executable by the rest of us, from the sharp, three-point fold of his pocket square to the perfectly executed four-in-hand tie knot (the single crease at the front is a sign it’s been done properly).

When you’re up for an award, it’s a good time to up the stakes style wise. Best Actor nominee Mr Mark Strong didn’t disappoint at the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards, to which he arrived in this simple and streamlined tuxedo, looking as if he was born to do it. The slimline silhouette could be risky in some hands, but Mr Strong has kept it respectable by being very restrained with colour, sticking strictly to black and white. Though he didn’t win on the night, perhaps he will take some consolation in the fact that his red-carpet look was the best of the evening. But then again, On the Town doesn’t give out trophies, so perhaps he won’t.
